This type of recycling involved crushing, screening, and reusing cement and asphalt concretes. Aggregates companies were frequently collecting and reusing the materials on construction projects
Some companies do recycle products. However a manufacturing company's first concern is to make a profit, so it will acquire its raw materials from the cheapest source. With materials still being plentiful, companies are often in the position that they have to use virgin materials as they are cheaper.
You can recycle many materials, including plastic and metal materials and even construction and demolition materials. Recycling can be as simple as putting recyclable materials in the appropriate containers each and every day. Additionally, there are many recycling companies that make it their top priority to get others to recycle and support communities and other organizations in spreading awareness for recycling and the effects it has on the overall environment.
Raw materials that are a component in concrete, aggregates are inert granular materials such as sand, gravel or crushed stone. Coarse aggregates are particles greater than 4.75mm, but they generally range between 9.5mm to 37.5mm in diameter. Primary coarse aggregates come from the land or water. Secondary aggregates are the by-products of extractive operations. The third source coarse aggregates come from is recycled aggregate, which is sand, and recycled concrete aggregate.

You can recycle more by upgrading the methods in which you recycle. While recycling each and every day by ensuring that any type of recyclable material is placed in the appropriate containers is always a great start, you can go a step further by joining organizations and communities that make it their top priority to ensure that recycling is continuously being done. These companies are also known to build facilities that accept recyclable materials, including plastic, metal, and construction and demolition materials. You can always give any of those recyclable materials to one of these companies or join one of their causes to not only recycle more, but entice others to join in as well.
